Petit Ermitage

In the heart of the Franschhoek Valley, Petit Ermitage is a historic building established in 1892. Its location is ideal for exploring the town of Franschhoek and surrounding Winelands, where some of South Africa's finest wines are produced on historic estates established by the Frensch Hugeunotes, who first settled the valley in 1688. The town features many well-preserved historical buildings and is splendidly displayed against the Cape Fold Mountains. It is often called the Food and Wine Capital of South Africa. Award-winning restaurants offer delectable fare with international and local influences apparent in the dishes served.

Only two rooms are available to guests, ensuring a luxury personal experience. They are fitted with stylish decorations and amenities, including high-thread-count linen, minibars with a selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, and tea and coffee-making facilities. Quality towels and toiletries are available in en-suite bathrooms, and rooms are fitted with flat-screen TVs and a personal laptop safe. Ice buckets are continually filled with complimentary ice in the hot summer months.

An inmate lounge and dining room are available for guests' exclusive use. Breakfast is served daily, and Petit Ermitage has a large swimming pool set in a beautifully manicured garden with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Fine dining restaurants, including Oku, Ruebens, Le Bon Vivant, and several casual dining establishments, are only a few minutes away. Guests can book spa treatments at Camelot Spa or Leeu Estate, and those wishing to explore the Winelands on the now-famous Wine Tram can walk to the departure station in just over ten minutes.
